. >> i want to bring in "the boston globe" statehouse bureau chief frank phillips and you're sitting there in congressman frank's home district right now. is anybody there surprised at all? i think we are a little surprised. he has been talking about it for several years, i've had private conversations with him over the last few years. he's tired of talking about it and in the last few days he's talking now that he wants to go back into the u.s. senate and get involved and get involved and they were controversial issues. >> i think the colleagues of the globe, thaw talked to the former congressman yesterday and did he give youio insight as to why he may have changed his mind about wanting to leave issue what wash. >> he said there are a lot of issues on the table and the fiscal cliff issues and the debt issues. i'm thinking assault weapons ban proposals, and he has a chance to go to the senate and from the democrats' point of view, what better voice for them? he's an experienced legislator on capitol hill and knows how to cut deals, as partisan as he's been with a very sharp tongue.

control is an issue that will really get conservative activists active on the campaign trail and in the statehouse and active working with congress so that's where they are really focused now as they say this as a religious freedom issue. >> and aisha moody mills is here and we thought since we were talking about birth control it would be a good idea to have a woman be part of the conversation. what do you think about this? >> you underscored the key point here. why is it that women's health care is always on the line and up for debate and being poked and prodded in the courts? >> i think about this issue in a personal way, not just because i'm a woman but because i've had issues where doctors throughout my life have encouraged me to get on some kind of contraception because of real medical issues that i was having and what's interesting is debating whether there should be coverage for real health issues that we face and men are using and popping all kinds of pills for recreational sex quite frankly and hormones to enhance their ability to recreationally have sex, and no one is questioning whether

[applause] let me just end with this last thought and then you're going to hear from senator cruiz. the reason i knew we would ultimately prevail was not because of campaign support or anything else. all the support we got was tremendously important -- not only in donations, we raised $37 million. 70% of it came from people who gave $50 or less. nearly 70% of all our donors were $50 or less. the reason i knew went back to september 11. after that event, i had the honor of going down to philadelphi
